So I have just recently bout myself a 1990 katana gsx750f I have heard it run and I have tested the gears for smooth shifting. It shifted to what I thought was smooth, got the bike home and bought a stock air box for it as it was missing (that came in today), I didn't really test out the bike because it ran like crap without the air box but I have the day off tomorrow and I'm going to put the box in it and see how she sounds warmed up.
I noticed when I unloaded the bike from the trailer that if I had the bike in gear I couldn't roll it down the driveway (sloped at about 45Ž° downhill) I had to push with a little gumption. I'm also going to change the oil tomorrow since it's blackish any recommendations for oil and filter, the bike also has 56k miles or so I'm told by PO (no speedo to confirm mileage).
I have given it a once over and I know what works on it and what doesn't but what really concerns me is the sprockets they look like saw blades from a skill saw so I'm hoping that I won't have to replace more then the sprockets and chain so I can ride for the rest of the season. I will give it a huge servicing during the winter months, if I can't then huge servicing comes early
But anyway sorry to trail off a couple times my two concerns are the clutch drag and the saw like sprockets but I don't really know what I'm jumping into I already have one project bike I don't want to have to rebuild another bike from the ground up
